In her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Sedira returns to the themes of art and resistance (and revolution), starting from an investigation into the Pan-African Festival of Algiers (PANAF) in 1969, organised by the new Algerian state, independent since 1962. Its capital, Algiers, was emerging as a place of ‘revolutionary’ encounters for many of the global liberation movements and the militancies and utopias of the 1960s and 70s.

The first Cinématheque on the African continent was created in Algiers in 1965, hand in hand with the emergence of militant cinema, with international co-productions.

Produced by the Algerian state, the William Klein’s film ‘The Pan-African Festival of Algiers’ (1969) is one of the key presences and evocations in the installation.
